A short break in our series of photos of Gothic cathedrals to introduce you to the city of Laon. This time we took the time to visit this small town, unlike the other stops of this trip.

We had no particular expectation but the city of Laon pleasantly surprised us by the charm of its Medieval and Renaissance streets. The historic town is strategically located on a rocky peak a hundred meters above the plains of Picardy. The city has preserved its walls and several buildings from different periods in its history.
